Good morning - 2 Idol vids...

Helo peeps, just a quick one this morning....

Two vids to share wich'all...

Been wanting to put this vid up for days, keep forgetting...

Here's the Idols' ALDO Music Video which was featured during last week's Michael Jackson themed Spectacular :) I love how Faizal picks up litter and throws it away! He's 'bad'! :)

A very sweet kind friend of mine recorded the show and extracted this clip for me...just uploaded it to YouTube last night..

And here's the clip of the Idols (Top 10) performing on Monday's 'Project Hope' charity show. They sang Hady's 'You Give Me Wings'.

Have a great day ahead....

Did you all get it right? :)

If you answered after watching the show then no fair laaa....

But good try to those who actually tried guessing - I thought it would be easy to guess :)

A little abit about the show. I managed to catch the opening which featured Taufik singing with Maiya, Darren Tan (didja know the Project Superstar winner is also Jon Cheok's BFF!!) and Mathilda d'Silva. Fik was awesome hawt! Loved his new hair and aiya, he's just so cool la. I'm so proud of him - he really has grown as an artiste. You can follow him on twitter (yes he has finally gotten himself online and actively updates his twitter now).

As the show plodded on, showing heartwrenching pic after heartwrenching vid of the typhoon/flood/earthquake victims, I couldn't watch anymore. I made the donation calls, and just concentrated on other things cos it was too heartbreaking to watch.

I was just waiting for the Idols to come on.

When they finally did, The Kids were ecstatic. The Daughter kept shouting 'Mommy Mommy its the Idols! The Idols' and The Son followed suit. I thought their performance (which was sung live by the way, not prerecorded) was not bad. They all looked suitably serious and heartfelt, and sombre (they were in shades of brown and grey), but I was disappointed that there was no banter after their song. They basically sang and thats it. Oh well. Maybe there was more, but I didn't stay till the end of the show cos it was Storytime & Bedtime.

Anyway, good job Idols. Hope you guys got to meet and mingle with your hero Taufik. :)

Oh and kudos too to Suria - I thought they did a great promo job for the show. I saw their trailers and online interviews etc, loads of effort there - so great job to Suria :)

ps. I shan't put up the Idols' full pics cos they didn't have make up on, and usually for wardrobe pics (these were taken for styling purposes), they pull ridiculously fugly faces. LOL! So lets keep 'em looking glam and mysterious from the neck down!

Project Hope, Monday, 19th October, 830pm on Channel 5

Idols not Idle (part deux)

The Singapore Idol Top 10 (yes this means Nurul too!) will be performing on Project Hope this Monday, 19th October, at 8.30pm. They will be singing Hady Mirza's 'You Give Me Wings'. Check out this MediaCorp ad for more info on what Project Hope is all about....

When the news about Project Hope was announced on Monday, Lucas Chow, the CEO of MediaCorp had this to say about why the show is named as such...

"As the region unites in grief, we also hear of many heroic acts of courage and kindness. We at MediaCorp feel strongly that we can give hope to the victims and their families, which is why we have called our television special, Project Hope.

We urge the public to donate generously to help the millions affected by the recent spate of calamities."

*Phone lines are open til midnight on Monday, 26th October. An administrative fee of 21cents is chargeable for each call.

For even more info, do check out Project Hope's facebook page here.

Funnily enough, although the ad above says Khai and Michelle are hosting, the facebook page for Project Hope lists Taufik Batisah as host - hrm...3 hosts I guess. As far as I know, for sure Taufik is doing the show, but as what he'll be doing exactly, I'll find out tomorrow and let y'all know for sure :)

Remember to catch Project Hope - you have no excuse, your Idols are performing, so you have to watch. Plus, its so accessible, you can watch it on Channel 5, Suria, TV Mobile and even the video screens at Orchard Central.

In the meantime, the Idols will be having rehearsals for the show over the weekend. Will catch up with them and tweet y'all the latest!

Acks! Its 4am - time to sleep!

xoxo, s.

ps. Check out these headless pics! Guess who's wearing what for Project Hope on Monday. There are 11 pics because one of the Idols tried an extra outfit - can you guess who's who? And how'd you figure it out?

A true Idol fan would have absolutely no problem figuring them out :) hehe.

Project Hope & Another Busy Idol Weekend

Idols not Idle.

Its a busy weekend ahead for the Idols as Project Hope rehearsals, a Carrie Underwood concert, vocal training sessions and a roadshow abound.

Carrie Underwood is coming to town. If you din already know dat, heloo where have you been? She's here for the official opening of Ion Orchard, performing a 45-minute free concert right outside Ion's front door. I saw the bleachers out front this morning - looks to be a massive production :) awesome stuff! Check out a snippet of her press conference from Razor TV.

She also had some advice for the our Idols...

“Everybody asks me what advice I’d give… but, really, I don’t know. I try to think of what would have made my time on Idol a lot easier, and you know what? Whatever is supposed to happen is going to happen.

“You just have to go out there and give it your all. I mean, you’re down to the top nine, so people already love them and they’re voting for them, so just take some chances and leave it all out on the table. Don’t hold back. This is it!”

Interview taken from http://www.carrie-underwood.org/ <-- do check out this amazing Carrie fanblog, very very informative!

So the most successful artiste to come out of the Idol franchise says to take risks eh, lay it all out there and don't hold back! Well, I totally agree. Time to let it all out and go for the gold!

Well as of yesterday, I heard producers were still trying to secure our Idols some access to Carrie, be it to just attend the concert or a backstage pass to meet her. But as of 5 minutes ago, I saw siproducer's tweet 'No go with Carrie.. thank you ION'. Looks like it's not happening :P

But seriously Ion, why la liddat? Howsabout some love for our Idols? Its not every day an Idol alum comes to town right, it would be such a great photo op. Just 5 minutes backstage would do so much to boost our Idols' spirit. Plus, wherever the Idols go, cameras follow and it gets broadcast on the show - extra mileage for a 5 minute backstage pass - good deal no?

I still have hope, the concert's not til 7.30pm tonight, thats like 16 hours away, I have hope, maybe the Ion people will realise that this would totally make 9 young aspiring singers' day.

But if tak jadi, it's okay la Idols, come join me, Iz and Syarif - we can all go together :) Hey maybe we can like cheong the stage and carry a big Idol logo-ed poster and wave at her - aiyo perish the thought - Idols cannot be so groupie and LC! <-- LC =low class LOL!

Roadshow this Sunday, 4pm, Plaza Sing!

k, Carrie Underwood aside, there's the Plaza Singapura roadshow comin' up this weekend. Judging from Gabby's 'most emotional vlog ever' post last weekend, the turn out at Cineleisure sounds like it was less than encouraging?

Well fans, time to get your butt down to PS this weekend and support your Top 9. Clap, cheer, yell and woot as loud as you can k? Don't just save it for the TV Theatre on Wednesdays - bring it outside too. Cos nothing is worse than standing on a stage, all vulnerable and stared at, and not getting a positive response. If you don't woot, at least clap and smile la. Can? Can right? I know you can. Go fans!

Project Hope

Ok, this one deserves its own post, so will stop here and start a new post :)
